How bad distilled water affect our inverter lead acid battery perfomance

Hello Friends,

As you know, the power generation in India is  low than our demand. To meet out this, our government is trying to  implement more power stations like thermal, nuclear, solar, wind plants etc..

During the power cut, most of us are using the home inverter, in order to carry on our routine work.

Hence choosing inverter and its battery is very most important and also maintenance of those are also much important.

Generally, we all are using lead acid batteries in our home and we need to topping up the distilled water when the acid level is goes down.

Here we need to take more care for buying the distilled water.

The water should have 5 ppm(parts per millions) or below and it may be the recommendation by many of manufacture.

But in recent report, the researcher advised us to not to buy distilled water from road side shops.

Because the water having the ppm of 30 and more.

To buy the good distilled water, I am recommending you to procure one TDS meter which cost around just Rs.200 only.

If we use TDS meter, we can check the TDS level of distilled water and if the value is less than 5ppm, we will add otherwise we can ignore. 

Incase if adding the bad distilled water, it will affect the battery performance and its life.

First, the battery will loose its charge holding capacity and if we adding the same bad water for a certain period, you will get low battery power backup problems and finally your battery will die one day.

So please be caution on buying the distilled water and get the TDS meter to ensure the TDS level before topping up.

Thanks.
